Patient's question:
Male, 9 years old, my child always says he can't see the blackboard clearly, and he says things appear double. Later, it was checked that he has amblyopia with strabismus. Can amblyopia be improved at the age of nine?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there is no cure for amblyopia, and it requires a long-term treatment process. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for diagnosis and treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, corrective glasses should be worn, eye function exercises should be performed, and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. Correcting amblyopia during childhood yields the best results. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and cold exposure, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
